Sri Lanka had a lackluster Cricket World Cup debut as they lost by 10 wickets to New Zealand during their opening campaign. Their batsmen didn’t play well and were, in fact, disappointing as they scored just 136 runs and were only able to bat for 29.2 overs.
Pakistan was blown out during their opening match of the 2019 ICC World Cup as they suffered a big defeat at the hands of West Indies. It was a terrible batting effort as the team bowled out for just 105 runs. However, Pakistan came up with the biggest upset so far in the tournament as they shocked world no1, hosts and cricket betting favorites England. The loss was a shock to the favorites and for Pakistan, the win should give them plenty of confidence heading to this showdown with Sri Lanka.
Sri Lanka showed some flashes of brilliance against Afghanistan but I was surprised with the quick turnaround before the rain delay. More than Afghanistan’s good fielding, I think Sri Lanka’s inconsistency is a result of the lack of confidence. I’m not sure what happens to them next. As for Pakistan, I think they are going to turn things around after their morale-boosting win over England.
